Gus Edwards

Gus Edwards is an American football running back who was listed as a free agent by the NFL after the Los Angeles Chargers released him on March 10, 2025. As of September 13, 2026, no current NFL team affiliation is established by the retrieved sources, so he should not be described as a Ravens or Chargers player. Edwards joined the Chargers after spending the early part of his professional career with the Baltimore Ravens. The Chargers announced that he appeared for Los Angeles during the 2024 season before his release.

Edwards played college football at the University of Miami and Rutgers University. Rutgers identifies him as a running back from Staten Island, New York, and lists him at 6 feet 1 inch and 235 pounds. After transferring to Rutgers, he became a starting running back and earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition from the coaches in 2017. His college profile describes a physical runner who contributed as both a ball carrier and receiver.

Edwards entered the NFL in 2018 as an undrafted free agent rather than as a draft selection. He signed with Baltimore and developed a reputation as a downhill, contact-oriented runner in the Ravens’ run-focused offense. His professional path later included a move to the Chargers, who released him in March 2025. The available sources support describing his career milestones and running style, but not assigning him to a current team on September 13, 2026.
